Straws are for kids, women or if you have been beaten to a pulp for the chud you are, OP.

>she drinks fizzy soda pop often enough where this is a serious problem

>>19680960
straws suck, just fuking raw dog it and let your drink flow over the sides while you pound your drink.

>>19680960
>I want to guarantee what I'm drinking is full of microplastics

>>19680960
>took from you
Every restaurant and convenience store near me has put the bins of plastic straws back near their soft drink machines. Even McDonalds seems to be phasing plastic straws back in. And this is two years AFTER the state passed a law to ban straws. There's no enforcement, no one cares, the fad is over and we're onto the next envirogrift.

>>19680977

>>19680960
No one took anything from me. Plastic straws and plastic bags were never banned in my state and there are no plans to ban them. Why do you retards always think whatever happens in your little shithole must be universally true everywhere?

Straws are dumb and should be banned outright. If you really want a fucking straw just buy a metal one and keep it in your car or something.

>>19680983
Im sure youre fun at parties

>>19681294
No, glass straws are better. Glass is inert.

>>19681294
What worse? A small dose of microplastics or a lifetime dose of heavy metal poisoning?

>>19680983
>he says using a computer doubtlessly full of plastic

wait does mcdonalds really serve their shakes (which is literally just the icecream mix + syrup) with a paper straw?

>>19680966
What if I want a juicebox, though?

>>19681879
cut off the corner and drink like a carton of milk you mincing fairy.

I've lived in California the the past 7 years and nobody took anything from me. I use plastic straws almost every day.

>>19680960
I always bring my own metal straw with me. It's fucking horrifying to think that some people actually drink acidic shit like soda without a straw.

>>19680960

>>19681869
Not where I live.

>>19680960
Fuck I hate paper straws.

>>19681308
They make stainless steel straws retard.

>>19682475
food looks awful

How did they take it when I can buy it literally anywhere?

>>19680960
>bubble tea shop finally caved and swapped to cardboard straws
>my metal straws are obviously too small
>because the tapioca clumps up you need to use a little more force than normal occasionally which completely collapses the straw
>lips "stick" to the straw
>and of course that awful taste it leaves in your mouth

>>19683169
I like the glass ones, so I can tell easily that it's clean. Also more inert and less thermally conductive (feels less cold on the lips) than metal.

>are the mega yachts and personal planes to blame for climate change?
>Noo it's the plastic straws!

I have a similar annoyance about AC use, those motherfuckers went out of their way to raise the global temperature and now I have to be the one to consider how cold I make my house? Kiss my fuckin' ass it's your fault I'm using it in the first place.

>>19680983
Everything you drink is encased in plastic before it gets put in it's final container

>>19683395
Anon, there is no climate change. Eco-grifters ignore historically high temperatures so they can tell you that current high temperatures are something special. The only reason they call it climate change is because global cooling and global warming were both proven to be bullshit. So instead of making hard claims they just started calling it "climate change" so you can't disprove them whether it gets hotter or colder.

Protip there's a fuckton of heat and pressure a few miles below your feet.

>>19683614
The saddest part is that you didn't even get paid to make that post. If you're gonna lie on the internet at least have some self respect and get a paycheck for it.

>>19683614
>climate change
Get with the program, chuddy. It's the "climate crisis" now.
>>19683642

>>19680960
I'm not a toddler, i can lift a cup to my mouth without spilling.

I have a titanium straw because I camp a lot and shit gets rusty.

>>19683680
And a tip of the ol' fedora to you too, my kind sir! We true manly men know that all luxury or comfort is for faggots and women, amiright? Haha!

Wow look it's the plastic straws at the 7-11 that they took from me

>>19683642
LIKE YOU DO?
Nah..
I enjoy my integrity and autonomy, you puling ADFag.

>>19683698
>I know you are but what am I?

Counterpoint, I know you are what am I?

>>19683686
Just get a glass straw.

>>19684115
I would break it.

>>19683385
They come with pipe cleaners. They also make them with silicone covers on the drinking end for people like yourself who have sensory issues (autism).

>>19683614
Climate hange is real you dipshit. There was literally an ice age a hundred centuries ago. Now if you ask me f humans have any affect on the climate, i would say absolutely not.

>>19681879
I thought he was going to say that juice boxes are for kids

>>19682475
FOUR men at the grill? Nobody does this

>>19683614
I have never once seen an argument that convincingly provides a reason not to believe that climate change is a real thing. Theyre all willfully ignorant at best and absolute schizo babble at worst

>>19684115
For camping?

>>19682475
literally an ad

>>19684158
>>19684252
They're not as fragile as you think, I've had some for a while and they're very sturdy, with reasonably thick walls. They're not dainty, fragile crystal pieces. Just make sure the ones you buy are made of borosilicate glass because those are the toughest.

>>19682475
nobody took this from you
you simply have no social life to speak of
even if you were born in this era, you'd still be completely alone

>>19683642
>>19684228
>>19684248
Uh oh it's Just Stop Oil. Here to glue yourselves to the image board?

>>19684939
shut up asshole they took it

>>19682475

They took a distinct type of advertising artwork that reminds me of more cheerful Jehovahs Witness literature?

>>19684935
What kind of faggot actually buys and carries around a glass straw lmao

>>19681879
Rip it open with your teeth, spew the part you ripped to the side, and squeeze the the box to force the juice to fly towards your face, about half of it hitting your wide open mouth

Like a real man would

>>19680960
I honestly don’t understand the cries about this. I always drank the drink out of the cup with no straw at all. It’s ridiculous to use a straw. Like whats the point?

>>19680960
I smuggled these into the country from Serbia

>>19684949
Nah I'm gonna do something completely worthless, get everybody mad at me, then collect my paycheck from my billionaire backer.

>>19684968
Crackheads

>>19680966
>>19680970
>>19680977
>>19680983
Threadly reminder that nobody ever complained about straws before some middle schooler's flawed science project that gave politicians and billionaires an excuse to make the average person's live incrementally worse.

I'm generally err on the side of less government intervention, mostly due to the incompetence and wastefulness of the state
that said, I wouldn't be upset if my city banned plastic bags specifically. Reusable bags are convenient and readily available. Their cost can be offset by the fact they are an advertising vehicle.
I'd vote against such a law because I don't want to give more power to the government to take away conveniences, but I do think you're a bit selfish if you acquire new plastic bags every week
Plastic straws can't be replaced without making sacrifices
>>19685247
Better for your teeth

>>19680960
>I NEED my microplastics!

>>19684248
If it requires belief, it is a religion.

>>19680983
paper straws are lined with plastic PFUA forever chemicals

>>19681723
brb drinking gallium-arsenide used in my computer cpu

>>19685366
>nobody cared about a problem until somebody drew attention to it
Correct, that is usually how things get solved on a mass scale.

>>19681723
are you licking parts of your computer anon? please seek help

>>19680960
You can still buy these at any dollar store.
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

>>19682475
Need an even more ridiculous shoop with like eleven different 50s dads grilling.

>>19682475
I was born in 1984 and my childhood family cookouts were basically identical to these paintings up until about 1999. Even down to the style of shirts and dresses the older men and women wore. How's that for the "90s aesthetic", kids?

Then all the aunts and uncles started getting too old and sick to attend and the whole thing just fell apart.

>yes, they were Mormons.

>>19684598
>no one ever grilled
>no one had children
>no one ever wore slacks or button up shirts
Reminder this picture is literally impossible such an event never took place in america. Everything is as it has always been. There is nothing to miss in the past. Don't think about it, don't think about your childhood. Things were much worse back then you just didn't know it.

>>19683642
So how much are they paying you? Can I get a referral bonus if you sign me up?

>>19686704
There is no escape

>>19686704
fortunately paper and plastic straws aren't the only ways you can drink from a cup

>>19683395
Getting rid of plastic straws was never about climate change. It's about retards throwing their garbage all over the place, causing plastic pollution in the environment. If people didn't litter, there would be no need to get rid of plastic straws.

Also, while mega yachts and personal planes do matter and should be restricted, they are only responsible for a tiny bit of climate change. All this focus on them is just a diversion, shifting blame and justifying to oneself, pretending you don't have to do anything.
But for climate change to be solved, you can't only target the rich. The middle class and the wealthier poor also need to reduce their standard of living. The vast majority of meat is eaten by middle class and poor people, not the rich. Most clothes are made for normal people, not the rich. Most cars are driven by middle class and poor, not rich. Everyone except the extremely poor need to reduce their standard of living significantly for climate change to be solved.

>>19681304
and it's a ready to make weapon on hand. win-win

People use straws?

>>19688935
Finally a reasonable fucking person, I agree with you but I still think the target is at the owning class. Yes consumerism is devouring the planet but I don't think that's because it's what people are asking for, its because it's what's available to them. Personally I would love for a world where there wasn't an oversupply of dogshit shoes that will last a season before becoming unwearable and I think most people would as well. The target will always be the wealthy's pocket books in some way or another and that's why it's so harshly pushed back against.

>>19680960
Remember to check for spiders.

>>19682475
This is what it used to look like. Heavy Jewish opposition to it for some reason.

>>19680960
I used a paper straw for the first time recently and it wasn't that bad.
Just had a kind of weird texture on my lips, but it wasn't bad.

>>19688935
>But for climate change to be solved
The sheer fucking hubris of the left thinking they are gods who can terraform the earth and lasso the forces of nature. They are the ant that dreamed it was a man. They lay claim to responsibility over powers they cannot even fathom. It's sickening the things they will use just to claim a tiny bit of power over others.

I drink wine from a silicone straw at home because I don't like it staining my lips and teeth

>Canadian
>plastic straws, grocery bags, and cutlery are banned by law
>cashiers don't even bag your groceries anymore
>shipping vessels that pour millions of tons of noxious fumes into the atmosphere on a yearly basis are OK, though

>>19690269
Yes. The oligarchs sew division amongst the poor with meaningless issues and get them to fight within themselves while they plunder the natural resources of your land. Trudeau had a mask off moment when he "mistakenly" said that Canada is an "oil and gas producing company".

>>19681723
I'm not drinking water out of my computer

>>19690269
>>plastic straws, grocery bags, and cutlery are banned by law
>>cashiers don't even bag your groceries anymore

Are these your hobbies or something? Why would anyone care so much about straws or plastic grocery bags?

You do realize you can drink straight from the glass...

>>19688935
>Everyone except the extremely poor need to reduce their standard of living significantly for climate change to be solved.
We unironically should just kill the poor, which would also be way more effective at climate control than ruining everyone else's lives.

>>19680960
I'm sipping a froofy coffee drink through a straw as I type this, maybe live in a less cucked state, or better yet vote out the cuck politicians in the one you're already in so better states don't have to deal with you.

>>19680960
This is one of the few things I agree with globalhomo faggots about
We use way too much plastic for idle consumption thanks to the recycling meme, and it’s leeching into the food we eat

Why does everyone lose their minds over paper straws? How long did you plan on drinking your beverage for it to get soggy? And not like you can't just open another straw if, for some reason, you decided to spend 2 hours drinking a soda.

I'm not an infant or demented. I haven't used straws in 15

Mexicans litter a lot and CA imported half of Mexico over the last 30 years therefore it needed to ban this shit.

>>19683385
I forgot I was using a glass straw and bit it like I do with regular straws. Broke the fucking glass into my mouth. Fuck glass straws. Plastic, metal or silicone.
